The Future of Work, Employment and Social Protection The Dynamics of Change and the Protection of Workers

This volume comprises the papers and debates of the second France/ILO Symposium on the future of work, employment and social protection. Reflecting the aim of the Symposium itself, the book provides in-depth reflections on work, employment and social protection. Designed to be more than an account of the discussions, this book is a useful tool for all those interested in labour market transition and the increasing importance of female labour for the future of the labour markets, particularly in the developed world. The book discusses the need for more family friendly policies and a more radical policy of equality between the sexes. The legal dimensions of labour market change are also debated and the book explores the positive and negative sides of globalization and its links with technological change.
